Alpine World Ski Championships 2027 in Crans-Montana:
It takes teamwork to create ideal conditions
Perfect racing conditions for fair and safe competition build on a combination of experience, precision, and state-of-the-art piste preparation.
Crans-Montana is preparing for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2027. While the interest of the general public is focused on the February competitions, preparations behind the scenes have been in full swing for some time. After all, the foundation for successful races is laid long before the starting gate opens.
Crans-Montana will host the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships from February 1 to 14, 2027. Forty years after the legendary 1987 edition, the world’s best athletes will again compete for medals on the historic slopes of this Valais resort.
What remains hidden from the spectators: The preparations for World Championships begin years before the actual event. Basic planning and development of the pistes was completed a long time ago. Course sections will be checked in the summer months, safety measures coordinated and infrastructural facilities put in place. Snow and weather data will be analyzed, preparation concepts developed and processes planned in meticulous detail.
World Championships place the highest demands in the pistes. Not only does this take experience and detailed knowledge of the pistes, it also requires modern technologies and seamless collaboration between everyone involved. Behind each perfectly prepared piste there are well-oiled teams, committed people, countless hours of work, and smooth cooperation between the organizers, race officials and technical partners. For months, the organization committee, race officials, course crews and the technology and preparation teams work hand in glove to create safe and steady conditions for the top international athletes and to ensure that the event proceeds smoothly.
